Aestlight Shawl

This pretty shawl is one of the things that I made while I was away. The pattern is Aestlight and is constructed in a manner that I have never done before. It has you start where the garter stitch point is.....knit your all of your garter work and then basically flip it, pick up stitches and continue on with the open lace work.

I'm not entirely sure that I really enjoyed this process, but I am really pleased with how it turned out. I made the smaller sized shawl which made for a fast knit, but it is still big enough to wrap around your neck and who doesn't like a little cashmere around their neck?

......and of course the flying shawl picture .....

Now if I can only find my notes for Wing of Moth to figure out where I left off....hmmmm
